Jerry Sukys Joins Beast LA As Executive Producer

One of the nation’s top editorial houses and a subsidiary of Deluxe Entertainment Services Group Inc., announced today the addition of executive producer Jerry Sukys to its Los Angeles facility. Sukys joins Beast from a seven-year run as executive producer at Cosmo Street Editorial, where he was responsible for production and cultivating client relationships. Some of his previous clients include: Saatchi&Saatchi, Mendelsohn Zien, Publicis Hal Riner SF, Crispin Porter & Bogusky, David & Goliath and 72 and Sunny.

"Beast feels very fortunate to have Jerry’s enthusiasm on-board,” said Beast COO Valerie Petrusson. “Jerry brings a wealth of industry contacts and a wide knowledge of advertising to Beast.”

“Jerry’s firm handshake and easy-going attitude fit Beast’s culture very well,” added Beast LA editor Charlie Lee. “His genuine attitude will be a catalyst for Beast’s continued success.”

Sukys light-heartedly admits he fell into the industry by way of an old friend

and began his career path as a production assistant, working his way up through the ranks to producer and, eventually, executive producer status. “I didn’t go to film school. I learned from the bottom up and I keep learning every day,” Sukys explained. Sukys has enjoyed producing campaigns for both national and international accounts, including Nike, BMW, Coca Cola, Sprite, Ford, Acura, Chrysler, Merill Lynch, Axa Financial McDonalds and Burger king.

“I love being at Beast,” said Sukys. “The roster is first-rate, the talent is impeccable and I look forward to this exciting opportunity.”
